People who seek out hazers on the internet

[kdonline]

I think there are a couple different topics here.

First is, trolling the 'net to look at hazing pictures. Do I think it's right? Well, I think hazing is wrong. And yes, I think it should be reported.

But if someone wants to spend his time trolling young girls' (and boys') online photo albums...well, that's HIS time, not mine.

(Personally, I do not think that people should share personal photos with the general public - that's why there are passworded sites!)

Secondly is the anonymity. If a person is identified in a news article - and gave their permission - then, what's the difference if his name is posted on a newspaper's site vs. being posted here? I think "public figure" comes into play...?

Now, if the person DID NOT give the paper permission to use his name, then that's another legal issue.

Why WOULDN'T a name that was posted in a news article be posted here? Heck, I've posted many articles from newspapers that named people's names... what's the difference from being named on one public site vs another?
